Networking :: Help installing drivers for a WPC11 v4

Hello, I need info on trying to install drivers for a WPC11 v4 wireless card on my thinkpad 600 laptop, since I'm very new to linux, I have no idea how to install the drivers, I'll be installing them from a cd, I have the realtek drivers downloaded already, will I need a compiler for this? Any help or walkthros are greatly appreciated.

This use to work. I haven't tried it in a while: http://www.damnsmalllinux.org/talk/node/256

Try seaching the forum for wpc11 and see what you find.

Good luck

Thanks, I put the realtek drivers on a floppy disk from windows XP and tried to transfer them to DSL on my laptop, no go, I can't get it form the drive and it's giving me CRC errors when I try to transfer anything to null, and the drives and diskette are fine, when I run windows 98 on the laptop it read the diskette just fine, what's going on?

I haven't used floppies much with DSL (or any linux for that matter) but one thing I can suggest is that you need to 'mount' the floppy after you insert it. You can use the mount-tool on the screen (I think it's the bottom right) or you can go to the floppy directory in emelfm (/mnt/floppy, I'm doing this from memory so it may be called something else in the /mnt directory) and right-click and then select mount.

If this isn't your problem then maybe you can try using a CD or memory-stick to transfer the drivers.
